Good overall, but misleading at payment

TurboTax was easy and convenient to use, and the overall experience was good.
The problem came at the final payment step. It automatically put me into the version with Expert Assist, which I did not need, and it cost about $100 more. I did not realize this was the default option.
I had to figure out by myself that I could downgrade, and then find how to switch to the version without assistance. That part felt misleading and somewhat like spam.
TurboTax should make the price options much clearer and should not default users into a more expensive version.
When I filed my 2024 return I found that TurboTax lost electronic record of my 2023, making 2024 a nightmare to file. Did not stand by their lifetime guarantee, 2023 not refunded though no record of the 2023 filing.
I wanted to by Max Audit Defense but I was not able to. I contacted support and the first person didn't know how to resolve this and she ended the call. The second time I called I spend 30+ minutes with one rep who brought in a level2 but the only way I could purchase it was deleting my entire return and starting over. That was out of the question. I hope I am able to add this although at this point, it should be free.
